TIME Cyclone Spark E~xtinguisher puton my
engine a few months ago is giving entire
satisfaction. Before it was put on, my gin
house several times caught fire from sparks, SO
T had to Quit running while the wind was blow
ing in the direction of the Clubhouse. Now 1
can gin and saw with perfect safety, no matter
which way the wind blows. Haven'tseen a live
spark from the engine since I have been using it.
And another goodthing about it is. it can't wear
think it a great invention, and wouldn't take
double the cost of mine if it was so I couldn't
get another one. I think you ought to reduce
the present high rate reinsurance on gin-houses
where these ~extinguishers are used on the en-
gines, or, at least, recommend such to the com
ppanies you represent, because I see no risk
whatever from the engine.
Very respectfully.

.BLUEBaRDs.-Mrs. Treat, in her "Home
Studies in Nature" says of bluebirds:
When a pair Of bluebirds succeed in rear
ing three bro0ds in a season, in the au-
tumn these broods unite and stay with the
parents, making alittle flock Of fourteen.
All the autumn through they keep togeth-
er, feeding from the same ~bdshes-poke,
ampelopsis,. and other wild berries-and
upon stray insects. The first cold days of
December send them to cedar swamps,
where great numbers congregate. Here,
too, large flocks of robins keep them com
pany. But each mild day brings the blue
birds from their retreat back to their IN
forgotten home, and there is nothing more
fascinating in bird life than to see the
frolics O fthe young birds and the grave
demeanor of the parents. The young visit
the various houses in which they were
reared, some times two or three entering
at the same time, and all the while keep
ing up their low, sweet twittering, as if
conversing.

COUGHING HoRsEs.-A horse may
cough from having taken cold, and he
may cough also through the injurious in
huence of dusty hay. A correspondent
who has been watching for the cause of
the winter trouble in his horses, says that
he has become convinced that the trouble
comes, in his case, from clover hay, and
more particularly through the name of
feeding it. His custom, like that of many
others, has been to let the animal draw the
hay down through a rack, thus stripping
the lungs in respiration and prodEsod the
cough. He believes the remedy for this
trouble to be in giving TIE animal its feed
in the natural way, i.e., allowingit to gath
er the food,at the level of its feet. Since
changing his racks to managers the writer
says ne hashad no further trouble with
coughing horses.

BETTER CULTIvATIoN.-Ihav have come to
the conclusion that the true way to increase
the production is to cultivate less land, but
cultivate it better than it has been our
practice of doing. Now, no n man can
blow, plant and properly cultivate twenty
acres of corn, and do the other work On the
farm. If twenty acres is the quantity of
land that has usually been in corn on a
farm, it will be much better to plant ten
acres only, and let the other ten acres be in
clover or blue grass. BY pasturing the
hogs on clover, not near so much corn will
be required to finish the fattening process.
Or, if the ten acres is devoted to pasture
for sheep, a nice increase to the income OF
the farm is secured with but little labor
required in attending to the sheep. AND
now l will give the result of my experience
in lessening the number of acres planted
to corn. A few years ago l thought must
plant each year twenty acres in corn, and
nv crop was generally about six hundred
bushels. I concluded, however, to reduce
the twenty to fifteen acres. But l found l
still raised about six hundred bushels.
Then I reduced it to twelve acres; and be-
cause of ditching and better cultivation, [
raised six hundred and eighty bushels. In
the spring of 1892, I ditched still more,
and planted only ten acres in corn, but my
crop was six hundred bushels. This ex-
pertinent has convinced me that we can in
crease the yield by reducing the acres.
Conn BREAD FOR VIGOR.-Corn is the
pioneer bread of this country. The faith
ers of the younger generations were, in
cases, raised on corn bread and pork meat.
Even after years of prosperity brought
more delicate food for their wives and
children, they chung, in a measure, to that
which had been their strength and susie
nance in their early days. There are a
great many people who like to have the
old-fashioned corn bread and some fried
salt pork for their breakfast, and there
are few perhaps who will read this who
know how good it tastes, and who through
this reminder will order such a breakfast
in the near future.
